What would you say to the first time investor looking to buy, rehab, rent, and refinance in Dallas?

This along with the time of year does make it slower.  

Many of the OTAs and lead gen sites, like Furnished Finder, are pushing credit card payments. 99.9% of the time I get a message from FF saying 'your tenant would prefer to pay by credit card so activate Stripe now!' 

Is it right time to invest?? 

The thinking was that the limited lease payments of $4.5k a month would provide some additional time to establish the business revenue. 

Your credit is low and you can qualify for a loan right now but you want to improve your credit score first in order to get a better interest rate.You have good credit but the interest rates are still too high right now and you want to wait until the rates come down before you get a long term mortgage.You just started your own company and you don’t have 2 years of tax returns so you are not very bankable right now.
